As a Northeastern mom all I can say is “ouch.”

In our case, my son is attending Northeastern on the NMF full tuition scholarship. However, he turned down higher ranking schools that either also offered very generous scholarships or were in-state. We’re always talking about “fit” here and that’s what it came down to for him.

He was also impressed with the fact that Northeastern consistently ranks as the #1 or #2 school in co-ops/internships and job placement. He liked that Northeastern didn’t shy away from the fact that they are preparing you for a career. And, yes, he loves the location.

Even when parents have the money to pay full fare, for some kids the better college isn’t the one down the road, it’s Northeastern. Go, Huskies!
